Eye Contact: If battery is leaking and material contacts the eye, flush thoroughly with copious amounts

of running water for 30 minutes. Seek immediate medical advice.

Skin Contact: If battery is leaking and material contacts the skin, remove any contaminated clothing

and flush exposed skin with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation,

injury or pain persists, seek medical advice.

Inhaled: If battery is leaking, contents may be irritating to respiratory passages. Move to fresh air. If

irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Swallowed: If battery contents are swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If the victim is alert, have them

rinse their mouth are the surrounding skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical

attention.

Note: This SDS does not include or address the small button cell batteries which can be ingested.

SECTION 5：FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire and Explosion Hazards: Batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when

exposed to a fire situation.

Extinguishing Media: Use any extinguishing media that is appropriate for the surrounding fire.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing

apparatus and full protective clothing. Fight fire from a distance or protected area. Cool fire exposed

batteries to prevent rupture. Use caution when handling fire-exposed containers (containers may rocket

or explode in heat of fire).

Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal degradation may produce hazardous fumes of zinc and

manganese; hydrogen gas, caustic vapors of potassium hydroxide and other toxic by-products.

SECTION 6：ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Notify safety personnel of large spills. Caustic potassium hydroxide may be released from leaking or

ruptured batteries. Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate protective clothing to avoid eye and skin

contact and inhalation of vapors or fumes. Increase ventilation. Carefully collect batteries and place in

an appropriate container for disposal.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. DO NOT short circuit or install incorrectly. Batteries may explode

pyrolize or vent if disassembled, crushed, recharged or exposed to high temperatures. Install batteries in

accordance with equipment instructions. Do not mix battery systems, such as alkaline and zinc carbon, in the

same equipment. Replace all batteries in equipment at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in a pocket

or bag. Do not remove battery tester or battery label.

Storage: Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature. Do not refrigerate – this will not make

them last longer.
